2020 Championship League snooker betting odds
After the first instalment of the 2020 Championship League which took place at Milton Keynes in early June, we now have the second slice of the competition for this year and the world’s leading players will once again head to the Ballroom at Stadium MK in order to compete for large prizes.
There are no less than 128 professional snooker players competing in Milton Keynes, with a flurry of action taking place between 13 September – 30 October and we will finally see a champion crowned come the end of October, with the world’s best players having recently competed in the 2020 World Snooker Championship where Ronnie O’Sullivan triumphed.
How Does the Championship League Format Work?
There are 32 groups of four players in the 2020 Championship League, with the players competing in a round robin format and each match comprises of four frames which means there can either be a victory or a draw.
The 32 group winners then go through to a group winners’ stage of the competition and we now have eight groups of four different players and they once again compete in a round robin format which leaves us with eight players who then go through to two winners’ groups.
Who Are the Favourites to Win the 2020 Championship League?
Unsurprisingly, world number one Judd Trump is among the favourites and the Bristolian and 2019 world champion could go deep into the competition, although Ronnie O’Sullivan is also respected and the Rocket is also trading at a single figure price.
Mark Selby and Neil Robertson come next in the betting, although the nature of the format means that the competition is wide open and we might see a few outsiders making progress in the tournament. Shaun Murphy, Kyren Wilson and Mark Allen are also notable names involved.
How to Bet on the Championship League Snooker
There are a number of different betting options available when it comes to the Championship League. You can bet on the winner of each match and the round robin format means that there are always lots of betting options available.
